For over ten years the war has been raging more or less in came- ra - almost no foreign journalist, no international human rights NGO can have access to this conflict zone. Who are these people who are presently defending human rights in Chechnya? They are ordinary citizens, who were often far removed from such problems before the war: journalists, academics, lawyers, schoolteachers and students. We have joined forces to react and to try to oppose the violations of the rights of our compatriots, the arbitrary and criminal practices our people are subjected to. Working alongside our friends and colleagues of the human rights centre Memorial, I found a place where I could be useful. We provide legal assistance to the victims and their families. In particular, we try to locate persons who have been abducted, and we help the families in their dealings with the administrati- ve and judicial systems. We defend those who are arrested or arbitrarily detai- ned. The detainees I see in prison have sometimes been tortured to such a degree that they can barely get up or sit down. Some do not dare to complain, for fear of reprisals. If I call for a doctor, the penitentiary administration usually refu- ses. We also keep a register of all the cases of violations brought to our kno- wledge. This mass of information, once processed and classified, is published regularly in the form of a chronicle of day-to-day violence. We are aware of the risks. Since 2000, six lawyers who were trying to defend the population and obtain the application of the law have disappeared, and another was killed in his home in the presence of his family. Those remaining work under constant pressure. We are cut off from the rest of the world. The community of States has aban- doned thousands of victims to their tragic fate. The support of our Russian col- 5 debut_a5.qxp 04/04/2005 12:04 Page 6 FOREWORD leagues and of international NGOs is vital, and often in taking up our cause they represent our last hope. Another source of hope, more personal but never- theless important, lies in the feeling that if a major problem were to arise, our fate would not pass unheeded, and that our friends will rise up to defend us and to continue our struggle. For all these reasons, for me the 2004 Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders1 was both an encouragement and an honour. I received it as a token of trust and encouragement. The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, managed by the FIDH and the OMCT, is doing a remarkable job, which is absolutely necessary in a world in which those who defend the rights that belong to everyo- ne are exposed to danger and injustice. Such solidarity is of immediate impor- tance, and gives me the strength to persevere in my action. In the long run, such solidarity unites men and women thousands of miles apart, in their daily strug- gle against horror, for the sake of human dignity. Lida Yusupova Co-ordinator of the Memorial office in Grozny (Chechnya) Martin Ennals Award, 2004 1 The Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders (MEA), established in 1993, is a unique collaboration among eleven of the world's leading human rights NGOs, for the protection of human rights defenders. The following orga- nisations are represented on the Jury: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Human Rights First, International Alert, International Commission of Jurists, International Federation for Human Rights, International Service for Human Rights, World Organisation Against Torture, Diakonie Germany, Huridocs, Defence for Children International. 6 debut_a5.qxp 04/04/2005 12:04 Page 7 LET’S JOIN FORCES!

We can feel we are not alone and carry on a fight we chose knowing its legitimacy: the protection of human rights". Abdoulaye Math, president of the Movement for the Defence of Human Rights and Freedoms (MDDHL). Cameroon, 26 October 2004. 8 Introduction_a5.qxp 04/04/2005 12:05 Page 9 INTRODUCTION Human rights stuck between relativism and denial In April 2004 the United Nations Commission on Human Rights reaffirmed that "States must ensure that any measure taken to combat terrorism complies with their obligations under international law, in par- ticular international human rights, refugee and humanitarian law"1. Many governments who see a convenient opportunity in the fight against terrorism for strengthening their power take no notice of this recommendation. The fundamental rights enshrined in the United Nations International Bill of Human Rights, and in particular those whose inviolability is proclaimed in the text itself, are regularly tram- pled, including in long-standing democracies. Such violations have always existed but the trend today is to justify them in the name of defending other values, which are also part of the rule of law, such as freedom and democracy. In this regard, the announ- cement of the appointment of Mr. Alberto Gonzales, a former counsel to President George W. Bush, to the position of Attorney General in November 2004, is symptomatic. As a counsel to the President, Mr. Alberto Gonzales stated in a memorandum that the war against terro- rism is "a new kind of war" and "this new paradigm renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and ren- ders quaint some of its provisions". In the United Kingdom, a court ruled in August 2004 that evidence obtained under torture was "admis- sible", thus running counter to the obligations that this State has always endorsed. 1 See UN document E/2004/23-E/CN.4/2004/127. 9 Introduction_a5.qxp 04/04/2005 12:05 Page 10 INTRODUCTION Other States assert even more blatantly disregard of human rights obligations laid down in international instruments, when they hinder the fight against terrorism. For instance, at an informal meeting held on the occasion of the July 2004 Summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), nine member States severely criticised the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) for gran- ting too much importance to democracy and human rights, and for, the- reby, "significantly" limiting its capacity to deal with other threats2.

The statement sums up the contribution of Census Organisation which has been working in the field of mapping in the country. The Census Commissionarate of India has been working in the field of cartography and mapping since 1872. A major shift was witnessed during Census 1961 when the office had got a permanent footing. For the first time, the census maps were published in the form of 'Census Atlases' in the decade 1961-71. Alongwith the national volume, atlases of states and union territories were also published.

  • Patterns of Global Terrorism 1999
    U.S. Department of State, April 2000 Introduction The US Government continues its commitment to use all tools necessary—including international diplomacy, law enforcement, intelligence collection and sharing, and military force—to counter current terrorist threats and hold terrorists accountable for past actions. Terrorists seek refuge in “swamps” where government control is weak or governments are sympathetic. We seek to drain these swamps. Through international and domestic legislation and strengthened law enforcement, the United States seeks to limit the room in which terrorists can move, plan, raise funds, and operate. Our goal is to eliminate terrorist safehavens, dry up their sources of revenue, break up their cells, disrupt their movements, and criminalize their behavior. We work closely with other countries to increase international political will to limit all aspects of terrorists’ efforts. US counterterrorist policies are tailored to combat what we believe to be the shifting trends in terrorism. One trend is the shift from well-organized, localized groups supported by state sponsors to loosely organized, international networks of terrorists. Such a network supported the failed attempt to smuggle explosives material and detonating devices into Seattle in December. With the decrease of state funding, these loosely networked individuals and groups have turned increasingly to other sources of funding, including private sponsorship, narcotrafficking, crime, and illegal trade. This shift parallels a change from primarily politically motivated terrorism to terrorism that is more religiously or ideologically motivated. Another trend is the shift eastward of the locus of terrorism from the Middle East to South Asia, specifically Afghanistan. As most Middle Eastern governments have strengthened their counterterrorist response, terrorists and their organizations have sought safehaven in areas where they can operate with impunity.

  • Reh' Soil in Some Parts of U.P
    MINERALOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF 'REH' SOIL IN SOME PARTS OF U.P. By MOHD. AJMAL ANSARI M. Sc., P. G. Dip. Hydrogeol, M. Phil. (Alig.) THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DECREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN GEOLOGY AT THE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY, ALIGARH (INDIA) 198 7 KV L^'V T3480 ABSTRACT As a part of the arid and. semi-arid landscape, saline and alkali lands have been known to occur in India from time immemorial, more prominently in the Indus and Gangetic plains in the north. The vernacular names 'Reh', 'Usar' or 'Kallar' have been in use for the saline efflorescence forming a crust on the surface of the soils during the dry periods. The effloresconce essentially consists of a mixture of sodium carbonate, bicar- bonate, chloride and sulphate, together with varying proportion; of calcium and magnesium salts. In the Indo-Gangetic Plain, the state of Uttar Pradesh (u.P.) is particularly affected by these deposits, most of which occur along certain belts which generally run along NW-SE. The salinity and alkalinity in the soils hamper crop production which affect the country's economy. It has been estimated that approximately 8 million hectares of land (actual extent may be much larger) has been afflicted by this malady. The irrportance of Indo-Gangetic alluvial plains to agriculture is immense. Therefore, the rate at which the soils are degrading (becoming saline and alkaline) is alarming and requires urgent measure to control and rectify this. Aligarh lies on one of the worst affected 'Usar' belts of U.P., therefore, this part of the belt was selected for detailed investigations^mainly, the mineralogical and geochemical aspects.

Phillip Buck, formerly of North Korea, Wins 2007 Civil Courage Prize for Help to Fleeing Refugees Aided Thousands to Escape North Korea; Was Imprisoned by Chinese for 15 Months The Rev. Phillip Jun Buck, who was born in North Korea in 1941, has been selected as the winner of the 2007 Civil Courage Prize of The Train Foundation. He will be awarded the Prize of $50,000 at a ceremony to be held October 16 in New York. His life has been marked by tireless efforts to help refugees from North Korea to escape that country, many through China, which, contrary to international law,tracks down and repatriates refugees. Since Pyong Yang deems it a crime to leave the country,the refugees returned by China are treated as criminals, and are subject to imprisonment in a gulag or worse. China persecutes those who aid refugees, as well. Rev. Buck himself was arrested in Yanji, China in May 2005, while aiding refugees, and spent 15 months in prison there.Thanks to the U.S. Embassy,his case was kept before the Chinese authorities and he was released in August 2006, though he suffered from malnutrition, intense interrogation and sleep deprivation.

In 2007 Abdoulaye Wade was reelected president in an election generally viewed as free and fair despite sporadic incidents of violence and intimidation. In 2007 the ruling Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS) won the majority of seats in National Assembly elections that were boycotted by the leading opposition parties. During the March 2009 local elections (municipal, regional, and rural communities), a multiparty opposition coalition scored significant victories, especially in the country's major cities. International observers characterized the March 2009 elections as generally free and transparent. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. Major human rights problems included the following: inhuman and degrading treatment of detainees and prisoners, including reports of physical abuse and torture; overcrowded prisons; questionable investigative detention and long pretrial detention; lack of an independent judiciary; limits on freedoms of speech, press, and assembly; corruption and impunity; rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment of and discrimination against women; female genital mutilation (FGM); child abuse; child marriage; infanticide; trafficking in persons; and child labor. Rebels associated with the Movement of Democratic Forces of the Casamance (MFDC) killed civilians and military personnel, committed robberies, fought with the army, and harassed local populations while fighting each other.
